**New Delhi** – The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), historically known for its strong Hindutva platform, appears to be adopting a new political strategy. Analysts suggest the party is temporarily downplaying its Hindu nationalist agenda, opting instead to focus on socio-economic issues. This marks a significant shift from the party’s previous approach, which successfully countered the Mandal Commission’s recommendations through a strong emphasis on Hindutva.
This strategic change draws parallels to the approach employed by former Prime Minister V.P. Singh, who prioritized caste-based politics. While the BJP’s commitment to Hindutva remains a cornerstone of its ideology, this apparent tactical shift indicates a potential recognition of the need to address broader socio-economic concerns to maintain electoral success. The exact reasons behind this change and its long-term implications remain to be seen.
